Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for securely storing data on a compact disk-like device that can interface with existing compact disk players, digital video disk players and disk drives commonly found on personal computers. The apparatus comprises a compact disk plastic substrate having a microprocessor, a system memory, a data memory and a power source embedded thereon. An optical interface device is embedded on the bottom of the substrate and is electrically connected to the microprocessor. The optical interface device comprises an imaging sensor for receiving data from the laser mechanism of a compact disk drive mechanism to store on the present invention, and a micro mirror array for emulating the pits and lands on a standard compact disk that can be read by the laser mechanism as the data retrieved from the present invention.
